Testimonials
"Mark’s connection to Clevedon Salerooms dates back to his teenage years and his input into the company has been immeasurable.
His expertise across all genres of art, antiques and collectables is quite remarkable and his attention to detail is second to none.
His high professional standards are evident when conducting valuations of all types and he has countless admirers amongst our clientele who are drawn to his amiable and charming personality.
Although replacing him like for like will be all but impossible I obviously wish Mark every success in his new life in Norfolk."
Marc Burridge, Director, Clevedon Salerooms Ltd.
"I have known Mark for eight years, since I started consultancy work at Clevedon Salerooms, and have always admired him for his very extensive knowledge of fine and decorative arts. Such knowledge can only come from many years of experience in handling, closely examining and researching objects. In an age of increasing specialisation it is rare to find somebody today with such a broad range of expertise."
Sheena Stoddard, ex Curator of Fine Art, Bristol City Museum & Art Gallery
"Having been in the antiques trade for well over 40 years we have obviously felt the need for Mark’s expertise on numerous occasions. His depth of knowledge across all genres is truly astonishing and on top of this he is one of life’s ‘good guys’.
The West Country’s loss is most certainly East Anglia’s gain!"
David & Alison Coles, Beach Antiques of Clevedon.
"I engaged with Mark when my father passed away and I was named as the executor for his will. I had decided to handle the estate without using a solicitor and the process was quite confusing so Mark provided options and advice on how to value dad’s possessions for the purpose of HMRC Inheritance Tax & Probate.
Guiding me through the valuation process, Mark’s approach was professional and compassionate. I found him extremely helpful in all respects and his practical approach and professional documentation ensured that this part of an emotionally trying process was smooth, simple and straightforward."
Ms A.Genge of Bristol.
"I met Mark when he conducted a valuation of my fathers effects for probate purposes. During our meeting he was professional, friendly and showed an understanding of my situation, answering all my questions. His report was detailed and he took the time to give me a full explanation of his valuation. I found him warm and easy to talk to throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend his services."
Mr S.Ward of Bristol
"We would like to thank Mr Fraser for his professionalism when undertaking the probate valuation of my late uncle’s house contents. He made the process simple and his knowledge regarding the art and antiques was remarkable."
Mr R.Edwards of Bristol.
"I have known Mark since 1995 when I first became a regular client at Clevedon Salerooms. Over those twenty four years I have got to know him as a most competent professional. My business operates across many fields of antiques (furniture, fine art, ceramics, glass, silver etc) virtually everything sold at quality auctions with the exception of jewellery. It is as a 'general' dealer I have often sought advice and opinion from Mark. It is in this capacity I have found him unfailing. He has acquired a comprehensive and in depth knowledge of his subject. On many occasions I recall being directed to Mark and told to 'Speak to the Oracle'.
On a personal level I have found him always to be honest, reliable and trustworthy. It is without reservation that I recommend him."

"I've known Mark professionally for getting on 12 years now and there is nothing he hasn't been able to tell me about Mid Century Modern design! Invaluable advice, always available and happy to help, a man who knows his stuff!"
